National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This Technical Handbook approved by NASA 12-02-2013. 121 p. This Handbook outlines a life cycle as a guideline for planning, designing, verifying and maintaining programmable logic devices (PLDs). Additionally, best practices are recommended for different PLD development phases. This Handbook provides guidance to perform project activities. It covers all aspects of the design cycle from initial planning through release and maintenance. The specific types of PLDs this Handbook addresses are as follows:
- Field-programmable gate array (FPGA).
- Complex programmable logic device (CPLD).
